I am a little late at the blogging thing today. Don’tcha just hate when life is too busy to blog? Anyway, there wasn’t much to write about anyway.

I was surfing and saw that Marcia at Mixed Messages did a list of ten things she’s bad at. Actually, her list could be my list too… but for the sake of a blog post, here’s mine:

1. Asking people for help. Especially when I really need it. I like the illusion of being strong.

2. Calling people on the phone. Much rather email. Or IM.

3. Stopping myself from eating at night.

4. Trying to fix what is upsetting people instead of just validating it and listening.

5. Getting Dinara to actually stay in her seat for one whole meal.

6. Sending timely Thank You cards, including making my kids send them. But I’m getting better.

7. Accepting that life can happen in the “gray” and everything, including my emotions, don’t always have to be black and white.

8. Crying when I’m upset. I bottle it.

9. Being patient with my kids after 4pm. I wish I could buy patience in bottle form.

10. Especially 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 on Marcia’s list.
